Important
The automatic feed must remain switched on until completion
of the thread. Disengaging between individual steps
renders further work impossible.
Only switch over the motor switch once the lathe chuck has
come
to acomplete standstill. Switching over immediately
increases wear and reduces the service life of the motor.
6. Move back the turning tool slightly with the cross-slide.
7. Move the support back to the output position. To do so,
switch
over the turning direction of the main spindle.
8. Advance the turning tool and repeat the steps described
above until the required thread depth is reached.
Thread cutting using the top slide
Aperfect, good-quality thread can only be cut by using the top
slide.
Advancing the thread tool is performed using the cross-slide as
described above.
However,this causes the top slide to shift by 0.025 mm to the
left and the same distance to the right.
The chip in the thread is thereforealways only removed from
one side.
Once the full thread depth has been reached, afinal full cut is
made by advancing slightly.
Cutting left threads
To cut left threads, the intermediate gear 1(Fig. 21) must be
installed between "Z
1
-Z
2
"and the leadscrew gear "L1".
In doing so, the turning direction of the leadscrew is reversed.
The support runs from right to left when the chuck is turning
clockwise.

Accessories for Lathe PD 250/E
Note:
The following accessories arenot included in the standard
equipment.
Installing the centrelathe (No. 24014)
Note:
Longer work pieces areclamped between the brad points of
the main spindle and tailstock.
The work piece must have acentreboreonboth faces.
An exact cylindrical work piece is only achieved if the points
align in the horizontal position.
1. Remove three fastening screws from the three-jaw chuck
and remove chuck.
2. Thoroughly clean the fit for the driving disc and centreand
its fit in the main spindle.
3. Insert the centre4(Fig. 22) in the fit 1ofthe main spindle.
4. Fit the driving disc 2and fasten with three screws 3.
5.
On the left side, insert driving pin in one of the three long
holes on the driving disc and the centreinthe centrebore.
6. Push the lathe carrier 1(Fig. 23) onto the work piece (driving
pin outwards) and tighten the fastening screw 2.
7.
On the right side, attach the work piece using the tailstock
and fixed or rotating centre.
Important
When
using acentrefixed to the tailstock, regular lubrication
of the centreand centreboreisnecessary to prevent the tem-
per from loosening.
Removing the centre
8. Guide asuitable aluminium or brass rodthrough the main
spindle from left to right.
9. Hold the centreand release by lightly tapping the rod.
Four-jaw chuck (No. 24036)
Note:
Round, oval, squareand irregularly shaped work pieces can be
clamped as it is possible to adjust the jaws individually.
Centric or eccentric clamping is possible.
Unlike the three-jaw chuck, centring of the work piece must be
performed manually.
Important
Remove mains plug.
1. Detach the three-jaw chuck and attach the four-jaw chuck.
2. Open the four jaws, clean the contact faces and clamp the
work piece lightly according to visual estimation.
3. Move the support and turning tool onto the plane surface of
the work piece.
4. Turn the chuck by hand to establish symmetrical deviations.
5. Adjust by opening one of the jaws and re-set the opposite
jaw accordingly.
6. Tighten all four jaws evenly,alternating crosswise.
Important
In the normal clamping jaw position, only work pieces with an
edge of up to max. 30 mm long can be clamped. The maximum
length is 80 mm in the reverse position.
Larger work pieces arenot securely held. Danger of accident.
Collet chuck unit and collet chucks
(No. 24038)
Note:
The collet chuck unit is especially suitable for processing round
parts with great precision. The truth of running is
